which either emerged from the earth or were budded close to it. The 

 cause of the damage was traced to wireworms, and therefore, not- 

 withstanding the advantages of low budding, this must be done not 

 lower than 2 inches from the surface of the soil in places infested with 

 these pests. Similar damage is also done by Tenebrionid larvae. 

 A general account of Elaterid larvae and their control is given. The 

 species known to injure plants include : — La,con murinus, L., Athous 

 mbfuscus, Miill., Coryinhites aeneus, L., Agriotes lineatus, L., and 

 Dolcypius margiyiahis, L., these species being figiired.

The genus Psylla, of which one species attacks apple trees, while 

 five species occur on pear trees [see this Revieiv, Series A, ii, p. 334], is 

 trhe commonest and most serious pest of orchards in Central and 

 Southern Russia. The best method of control consists in fumigation 

 with tobacco dust, on the results of which against the adults the 

 author has previously reported [see this Revieiv, Ser. iv, p. 169]. 

 Further experiments both in the laboratory and in the open with this 

 remedy against the nymphs have also proved successful.

An Entomological Section has been lately established at the Viti- 

 cultural Station of Russian Vinegrowers and Wine-Makers in Odessa, 

 the operations of which are to extend over all the vine-growing districts 

 of European and Asiatic Russia. This pamphlet, the author of which 

 is in charge of the new Section, invites correspondents to send in- 

 formation as to injuries by insect pests to the Bureau and gives general 

 instructions as to the methods of collecting and preserving insect pests 

 and of forwarding infested plants.

The meteorological conditions of the winter of 1915 and the first 

 part of 1916 were exceedingly favourable to the increase of insects 

 and, coupled with the absence of any control methods in many orchards, 

 led to a very large outbreak of many pests in the spring of 1916. The 

 following were particularly injurious to orchards : Aporia a-afaegi, of
